ROLLING STONES MONO LET IT BLEED VINYL LP W INNER - INSANELY RARE 1A/1A MATRIX
MATRIX A - XARL - 9363.P-1A
MATRIX B - XARL - 9364.P-1A
RELUCTANT SALE DUE TO BEING FURLOUGHED AND NEEDING MONEY FOR DIY PROJECTS.
WHAT WE HAVE HERE, IS A VERY RARE THING.
THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE MONO LET IT BLEED 1A/1A MATRIX - AS YOU WILL KNOW THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH LATER MATRIX NUMBERS, BUT THIS IS THE GENUINE 1ST 1A/1A MATRIX.
THERE ARE 2 ORIGINAL MONO INNER SLEEVES WITH THE ALBUM - WHEN I GOT THE ALBUM IT CAME WITH THE INNER ON THE LEFT - THIS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT 'WITH THE LONDON BACH CHOIR' HAS BEEN BLACKED OUT & I MANAGED TO OBTAIN A SECOND INNER (SHOWN ON THE RIGHT) WITHOUT THE BLACKED OUT WORDING, HOWEVER THIS INNER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION ONLY AND SADLY HAS A SPLIT ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH I HAVE CLEARLY SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.
THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS SHOWN.
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE JUST NOW TO CHECK IT).
SIDE ONE IS NEAR MINT AT LEAST 9/10 AND PLAYS JUST SO. THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH SIDE ONE, IT IS ALMOST FLAWLESS.
SIDE TWO IS SIMILARLY VERY CLEAN WITH A GOOD SHEEN AND LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED, HOWEVER IT HAS AN UNFORTUNATE MARK WHICH I HAVE HAD TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS.
I HAVE JUST PLAYED SIDE 2 TWICE AND I HAVE TO SAY, THE MARK IS LARGELY SUPERFICIAL. THE VINYL PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH NO SKIP OR JUMP, AND ALTHOUGH THE MARK LOOKS BAD, IT HARDLY AFFECTS PLAY. I NOTICED VERY LIGHT CRACKLE AT THE END OF MIDNIGHT RAMBLER AND A SLIGHT CLICK ON PARTS OF MONKEY MAN. BECAUSE THE VINYL IS IN OTHERWISE NEAR MINT CONDITION, THERE ARE VERY FEW I PERFECTIONS APART FROM WHERE THE SUPERFICIAL MARK AFFECTS PLAY.
AS A RESULT ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME IMPERFECTIONS WHERE THE RECORD IS MARKED, THERE ARE OTHERWISE VERY FEW IMPERFECTIONS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE IS STILL VERY GOOD. THERE ARE VERY FEW INSTANCES WHERE PLAYBACK IS COMPROMISED AND HAD YOU NOT SEEN THE MARK, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW IT WAS THERE.
AS A RESULT THE RECORD GRADES AS NM/VG.
AS YOU WILL KNOW, THIS IS A VERY RARE RECORD WITH OTHER SELLERS ASKING OVER £500, AND NOT ALL EXAMPLES HAVE THE RARE 1A/1A MATRIX.
SO, BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT MARK, I HAVE LISTED, AT WHAT I FEEL TO BE A BARGAIN £150. WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YOU, IS THAT, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A FINE EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.
YES, THERE ARE A FEW IMPERFECTIONS ON SIDE TWO, BUT THE COMPROMISE IS SLIGHT AND THIS IS STILL A FINE ALBUM, IN FINE CONDITION, WITH VERY GOOD PLAYBACK.
FOR THE PRICE, I DOUBT YOU WILL FIND BETTER AND REMEMBER, I HAVE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED THIS ITEM, OTHER SELLERS WILL SELL YOU INFERIOR PRODUCTS AT INFLATED PRICES AND MISREPRESENT THE CONDITION.
RARE 1A/1A FIST PRESS NM/VG - NO POSTER.
FREE UK DELIVERY INCLUDED IN PRICE.
